There are 12 there on the FTDNA U106 project map. There are some more south
of that line but not as far south as Frankfurt, which is usually classed as
SW Germany. This is a good demonstration of why trying to draw a line
defining geographic areas is very problematic. Move it 20 miles and suddenly
one region jumps into prominence while another loses prominence, and this is
obviously pretty artificial.

If you class Leipzig as Central Germany instead of northern and draw the
line through Munster, then you have 10 datapoints that are clearly northern
Germany.

There is one suspect datapoint south of the Leipzig line showing 7 people in
the same spot. I'm guessing this is a cluster of multiple tests for one
family. / Tom
